Thank you for your interest in Rosemead School of Psychology. Rosemead is an outstanding place to pursue your doctoral degree. My hope is that you will find answers to many of your questions at this site, and that your review of our materials will only enhance your interest in our programs. You will learn about the opportunity to obtain a world class education with a world class faculty.

Rosemead advances a biblically and psychologically integrated understanding of human nature and seeks to apply this integrative understanding to relieve problems of human suffering. We desire to reconcile individuals to themselves, to others, to communities, and to God through fully comprehending and implementing the truth of Scripture with the truth we find in the investigation of the human mind and behavior.

We are committed to developing whole and balanced Christian psychologists who serve others in clinical settings such as private practice, mental health clinics, and hospitals; who can conduct or apply research and teach in various institutional settings; and who can serve in local churches and mission agencies throughout the world.

• Required didactic therapy for all students to facilitate understanding of the self and the therapeutic process
• Supervised laboratory experiences in psychotherapy classes wherein students have the opportunity to apply with clients what they are learning in the classroom
